Cheeky Grin


My friend's son. How could I resist that cute little grin. I think it would probably look better without the person in the background, but I still like this one.

Gardening With Mum


The gorgeous daughter of a friend. I like how only my friend's legs are in the picture; giving perspective to the daughter and also allowing her to be the centre of the photograph.

Hilltop


So far I am struggling to take interesting pictures in bad weather but I like this one, especially as it wasn't posed.

Curious Sheep


I love sheep. Hence the photo of a sheep. I approached this one very, very slowly to try and get as close as possible. I definitely need a longer zoom.

This shot is also my first attempt at using photoshop. I hope to learn more and more as times go on. I am still torn between leaving a shot as it is... in its pure form... and turning it into 'art' by using photoshop to its full advantage. For now my photographs are a combination of both. There is, I imagine, a time and a place for both.

Castletop


Another shot I love for it's simplicity. I like how such little detail can convey so much.

Rooftop


Another example of the simplicity of a shot being appealing to me. I didn't realise until I took up photography how much I liked architecture!

I'm sure taking a shot of the sun like this is against all pro rules but I do like it.

Doorway


I didn't actually mean to get myself reflected in this shot, though I do like the end result. I liked the different textures here; the wood, the stone, the brick, the glass. And the simplicity of the shot.
